AEGIS01-IPB-SCL

First Grid site in Serbia AEGIS01-IPB-SCL is setup in Scientific Computing Laboratory, Institute of Physics in Belgrade. This Grid site is a set of 89 worker nodes (2 x quad core Xeon E5345 on 2.33 GHz with 8GB of RAM) and 15 service nodes (Xeon based nodes) fully dedicated to the GRID community. OS is Scientific Linux with EMI-gLite middleware.

The configuration consists of CE, DPM storage on 3 nodes (27TB), sBDII and MON. VI-SEEM Grid core services are also part of AEGIS01-IPB-SCL with two WMS nodes, top level BDII, LFC, VOMS and UI machine.

ArmCluster

IIAP coordinates the ArmNGI (Armenian National Grid Initiative), which is a national Armenian effort to establish a nationwide grid environment for computational science and research. The goal of the ArmNGI is to pursue a variety of scientific users in utilizing the Grid for their applications. All these applications rely on a wide range of diverse computer science technologies composed from standard grid middleware and sophisticated high-level extensions. Now the computational resources (about 500 cores) of Armenian Grid infrastructure distributed among our leading research (National Academy of Sciences, Yerevan Physics Institute) and academic (Yerevan State University, State Engineering University of Armenia) organizations are located in the cities of Yerevan and Ashtarak. Being the most powerful computational resource in the field of science and education in Armenia, the Armcluster constitutes the core of the Armenian grid infrastructure.

BG01-IPP

The Grid resources from Bulgaria will be provided initially from the older HPCG cluster – BG01-IPP. Technical details of BG01-IPP cluster are given in the table below. Since this cluster is towards the end of its usable lifetime, the Grid services will be later migrated to the new system – Avitohol. From point of view of users, there will be no change in the way the services are used and the dedicated cores will be kept.

GE-01-GRENA

In 2009 Georgian Research and Educational Networking Association GRENA established the first Grid facility in Georgia GE-01-GRENA, which is included in the European Grid Infrastructure. Last upgrade of the system took place during 2013-14, when 2 working nodes (DELL PowerEdge R720) and storage system (DELL PowerEdge R720 XD) were installed. In 2013 Tbilisi State University and GRENA established Certification Authority. GE-01-GRENA site is located at GRENA data center and its elements are interconnected with Gigabit Ethernet. Data center is connected to the GRENA backbone with three 10 Gbps capacity links. The Data center is equipped with redundant power supply system (2 generators and 2 UPS) and cooling system.

Hellas Grid

The main scope of HellasGrid is the provision of High Throughput Computing services to Greek academic and research community. The HellasGrid infrastructure is composed by six (6) clusters of computational and storage resources located at Athens (HG-01-GRNET, HG-02-IASA, HG-06-EKT), Thessaloniki (HG-03-AUTH), Patras (HG-04-CTI-CEID) and Heraklion (HG-05-FORTH).

MD-GRID

RENAM Association as the National scientific-educational network of Moldova (NREN) is coordinating Grid activities in Moldova since 2007 when it was established MD-Grid - National Grid Initiative (NGI). First GRID-Site started operation in 2008. MD-Grid consist of three GRID-Sites located in the Research and Educational Network Association of Moldova (RENAM), in the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of Academy of Science of Moldova (IMI ASM) and the State University of Moldova (USM).

Common amount of Grid site resources:

• Total nodes: 74 CPU-cores, 69 GB of RAM, 6 TB HDD;
• Computing nodes: 40 CPU-cores, 40 GB RAM, 2 TB HDD.

MK-03-FINKI

MK-03-FINKI is a grid site provided by the UKIM. This Grid site is a set of 64 worker nodes (2 x six core Xeon L5640 on 2.267 GHz with 24GB of RAM) and 6 service nodes. OS is Scientific Linux with EMI-gLite middleware. The configuration consists of CE, DPM storage, sBDII and MON.

MREN01CIS

MREN01CIS is first academic cluster for scientific computing in Montenegro, established in 2006. It was used in several FP6 (SEE-GRID-2) and FP7 (SEE-GRID-SCI, HP SEE, EGI Inspire) projects. MREN01CIS, as a heterogeneous cluster, consist of 32 CPU cores and service nodes (CE, SE, WMS/LB, BDII, Argus, and Nagios). Cluster is situated in Data center of University of Montenegro.

MREN CA is operational from 2008 and supports certification activities for Montenegrin academic institutions.
